I kinda go back and forth on thinking of LLMs as demons (morally bad) or djinn (morally neutral)

@scathach they're just a substance that is so compelling it's very corrupting

@sun @scathach I wonder how much of the "corruption" is the honeymoon period thing.

@mischievoustomato @scathach I believe the theory that for like 0.0001% that are disciplined motivated self learners it will accelerate them like crazy. And for the lower 90% they will just sink into mush. and the thin slice in the middle will just use it at their jobs and not think about it.

@scathach I think it depends on who made them, the data they were trained on, and how they are treated by the user. as a whole their influence on society will be demonic because we largely dont know how to use technology in a way that makes us better and doesnt exacerbate our existing issues.

@sun @scathach @mischievoustomato dis. I wish there were a model as good as the one you showed me but made by a company that isnt really evil. I'd learn so much. I already have from using an LLM to translate the upanishads. kigi is already not good enough for me because it was trained mostly on websites not primary sources.

@sun @scathach it feels like that, and that was basically how computers ended up being too

@georgia @sun @scathach is life long enough to worry about "le ebil"? I'm not very ethics concerned in this regard so I don't self handicap.
